Women's World Cup Brackets: Round of 16 fixtures, dates and timing

The knockout stages of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup will begin on Saturday, with Germany taking on Nigeria at the Stade des Alpes in Grenoble.

All the pre-tournament favourites have made it through to the knockout stages, with no hiccups, albeit with varying levels of performance. The defending champions USA have swept aside everything in their tracks, with a commanding group stage showing, where they scored 18 goals and conceded none, in Group F.

In Group F, there was also heartbreak for Chile, who fell just a goal short of making it to the knockout stages in their first ever appearance at the World Cup.
